Li Hyuk didn't have many scenes in "Palace". Originally, he only had six episodes. Later, after Li Huizhu and Yu Zheng discussed it, the number was increased to eight episodes for Li Hyuk.
With a salary of RMB 2,500 per episode, he can earn RMB 20,000 for eight episodes, and Li Hyuk only needs to film on the set for more than a month.
One-third of the remuneration has already been paid when the contract was signed, and the remaining two-thirds will be settled after Li Hyuk wraps up the filming.
As soon as Li Hyuk received the paycheck, he sent 3,000 yuan back to his sister Cheap. After all, she was his sister now, so she still had to take care of her.
In a place where the average salary in my hometown is only about 1,000 yuan, 3,000 yuan is not a small amount of money. My sister Li Xiaonan was also worried that Li He had done something bad, so she called to inquire.
Li Hyuk didn't tell her that he was going to film. He just said that he had found a high-paying job as a chef and the salary was very high.
Li Xiaonan felt relieved and cried, saying that Li He had grown up and knew how to support the family.
Li He hung up the phone and breathed a long sigh of relief. The exchange just now probably didn't reveal anything. To be honest, sometimes he didn't know how to face his predecessor's family, and he might not be ready to accept everything about his predecessor.
In the past few days, Yang Mi has given him a new nickname, Lao Cadre. It means that he is young but old-fashioned, and he always speaks in official dialect.
Li He was also helpless. After all, he was already in his thirties, so asking him to pretend to be a nineteen-year-old young man would have some traces of acting.
As December gradually enters, the weather in Hengdian Film and Television City in the south begins to turn cooler, and Li Hyuk's filming on the "Palace" crew is about to come to an end.
On this day, director Li Huizhu took Li Hyuk to Zheng Xiaolong's crew filming next door.
"You are here, sit down for a while, Xiao Fang, and make two cups of tea." Zheng Xiaolong welcomed him warmly.
"This is the actor I'm talking about, Li Hyuk, who played the role of the 14th elder brother Yinzhen in my drama and performed quite well." Li Huizhu introduced.
"Hello, Director Zheng, I am Li He." Li He bowed.
Zheng Xiaolong looked Li Hyuk up and down and said to Li Huizhu: "You are indeed very young. Are there any performance clips?"
"Yes, I brought it."
"Xiao Fang, serve two cups of tea first." Zheng Xiaolong called towards the door.
Assistant Xiao Fang served tea and brought over the laptop. Zheng Xiaolong took the digital memory card from Li Huizhu, inserted it into the computer, and followed Li Huizhu's instructions to find the folder.
There are two videos in total. The first video is a simple basic performance link, such as happiness, anger, sadness, joy, crying and other emotions. In the video, Li Hyuk behaves very naturally, switching between various emotions very smoothly, and they are all lifelike.
Zheng Xiaolong just glanced at it briefly and skipped it in a hurry. After all, if these basic performance links were not done well, Li Huizhu would not recommend it.
Turning to the second video, it was a scene where Yinzhen, played by Li He, and Kangxi, played by Tang Zhengye, played against each other. Zheng Xiaolong watched this part for a long time and was very careful.
To be honest, because Li Hyuk's surname is also Li, Zheng Xiaolong thought he had something to do with Li Huizhu, but after watching this video, he gave up the idea because Li Hyuk's performance in the video was very good.
People usually praise an actor's acting skills with words such as vivid, lifelike, vivid, superb and so on. In Zheng Xiaolong's view, Li Hyuk's acting skills in the video actually have a sense of returning to his original nature. This feeling is something he can only feel if he is an experienced actor who has been in the industry for many years.
I've seen it on my body.
Is he really a talented actor? Zheng Xiaolong wondered in his heart.
Acting skills are not impossible to develop, but an actor who has worked hard to practice his acting skills is far inferior to a talented actor. The most representative ones are Andy Lau and Tony Leung. The former is a representative of hard-working acting skills and has also won several Best Actor awards.
The latter is recognized as a talented actor, a god of acting skills, and he is very easy to win awards.
"How's it going? Is it okay?" Li Huizhu asked quickly when she saw that Zheng Xiaolong didn't speak while watching the video.
Zheng Xiaolong came back to his senses and looked Li He carefully up and down: "Although he is a little younger, his image is really good. How about we try out a simple scene later?"
Li He nodded and said, "Just make arrangements with Director Zheng. I'll be ready at any time."
Zheng Xiaolong was very satisfied with Li He's attitude and took a piece of paper to Li He: "You should think about this plot first, and there will be music for you in a while."
"Okay." Li He took the paper and read it carefully.
At this glance, you can see the difference from "Palace". A drama like "Palace" is a costume idol drama. The thunderous lines made Li Hyuk so embarrassed that he had cancer. But this drama does not have this feeling, at least from the beginning
Judging from this plot, everything makes sense.
Zheng Xiaolong and Li Huizhu reminisced about old times and observed Li Hyuk's reaction. He looked at the script seriously and nodded secretly. What he hates most is actors who think highly of themselves, especially young actors, who are restless and unable to calm down.
study.
Zheng Xiaolong is very satisfied with Li He's performance. Being able to calm down and read a boring script is a rare quality in itself. Moreover, judging from the video, this actor's acting skills are quite good.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Zheng Xiaolong shouted: "Come in..."
An actress walked in: "Director, are you looking for me?"
"Oh, Sun Li, sit down first and let me introduce you. This is director Li Huizhu." Zheng Xiaolong introduced.
"Hello, Director Li..."
"Hello, you look much better than on TV." The two shook hands and greeted each other.
Zheng Xiaolong then introduced: "This is Li He, who is here to audition for the role of Prince Yunli of Guo County. You come to act as his partner."
Sun Li looked at Li He: "So young?"
"Don't look at him because he is young. His acting skills are quite good." Zheng Xiaolong said with a smile.
"Really?" Sun Li's eyes lit up: "Then I want to give it a try. Are you ready?"
Li He had already figured it out, so he nodded and said, "I'm ready, don't you need to take a look?"
"No, I can start at any time." Sun Li said domineeringly.
"Okay, let's get started." Li He was very calm, with no trace of nervousness at all.
This scene is quite a test of acting and line skills. Sun Li thought that since she was from a major and had many years of acting experience, there would be no problem. On the contrary, this young actor might not be able to perform this scene, so she thought to herself
She was wondering if she should let him go, but Li He gave her a warning from the beginning.
Li He switched in one second and became the versatile but infatuated Wang Yunli of Guojun.
"I think everyone will spread rumors about my death in the future, and you must be worried about me day and night, right?" Li He looked at Sun Li infatuatedly, and the emotion revealed in his eyes even made Sun Li feel a tremor in her heart, and she forgot to take the role.
After coming back to her senses, Sun Li quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I was a little confused."
"It doesn't matter, let's continue..." Zheng Xiaolong sounded a little excited.
Sun Li took a deep breath and prepared to get serious. I am an expert in palace fighting. How can I be suppressed by a mere young man?
Once again, Li He still switched in one second: "I think everyone will spread rumors about my death in the future, and you will be worried about me day and night, right?"
Zheng Xiaolong has already started recording with a digital camera. He wants to record the audition video.
Sun Li didn't dare to look at Li He's eyes, as if Li He was really Wang Yunli of Guo County, she reluctantly continued the scene: "I have heard that the prince has seven orifices in his heart. I think the prince is really too worried."
